[Hahahahahaha I'm just like Li Yang, listening so seriously!]
[I almost want to say that the auntie's tragic experience is just like mine]
[Auntie's acting is really something!]
[Why do I feel... this vegetable-selling auntie looks a bit familiar]
[Yeah, I also think she looks familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before]
[Waiting for the news to pop up on Weibo]
[What's Brother Cheng doing?!!! How can he not spare even a vegetable-selling auntie?!]
[Cheng Zhirang's side profile is absolutely stunning]
Li Yang was still dazed until he walked to the next stall.
But after the daze, he caught onto a piece of information.
"Why did that auntie tell us this... this story? Is it a clue for the guest? After she took a photo with me, she thought of the celebrity she once followed. Could it be that the person is a senior and looked a lot like me when they were young?"
Mu Qiu gave him an approving look, "If every auntie we encounter gives a clue, then your analysis might be right. After all, besides this story, there's only the girly Polaroid she didn't give us any other hints."
The pink Polaroid was still in her hand.
Guan Yu's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, "With your analysis, I think so too!"
Then she tilted her head and asked Mu Qiu, "Does this scenario appear in your books too? Would you arrange for a vegetable-selling auntie to have a deeply moving secret crush?"
"...Actually, no," Mu Qiu said with a look of 'don't blame me, I didn't write such inexplicable variety content', seriously stating, "The first episode I arranged in my book had the female lead making a powerful entrance, exposing the director's tricks and making a joke in front of the entire nation."
Guan Yu held her breath, unable to respond immediately, and after a while, she sincerely admired, "No wonder the director insists that you're of no use."
It's pretty good not to be retaliated against by the director for writing this kind of content.
Li Yang was still pondering the hard-earned clue, trying to think of who in the industry looked like him when they were younger. As he thought about it, his eyes scanned and saw Shi Yuhuai two meters behind them, talking to another vegetable vendor.
......beside Cheng Zhirang.
Cheng Zhirang has been in the industry for ten years, definitely knowing many more celebrities than someone like him who only debuted as part of a group a year ago.
So Li Yang clutched the vegetables and photo tightly, and scooted over to call out to Brother Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, do you know any seniors in the industry who used to look somewhat like me? They should also be from a singing and dancing background."
Cheng Zhirang, who was listening to Shu Ran talking to the vendor, turned around, considered for two seconds, and shook his head, "If there was, someone would have exposed it by now."
If there were two celebrities in the entertainment industry who looked alike, and one of them is the current hot star, it would have been exposed a long time ago and might even snag a spot on the trending lists, becoming widely known.
Li Yang thought so too and frowned in slight disappointment.
But there were only two clues, one of which was a messy portrait that couldn't even distinguish a person's likeness, so there was no point in rushing.
The two teams leaned back to back, gathering spirits to dive back into clue collection.
Mu Qiu watched as Li Yang and Guan Yu got spirited up, sacrificing appearances for clues, and felt that she indeed wasn't up to par.
The dedication to everything for clues and tasks was truly moving and incomparable.
An hour later, they finally browsed through the entire street market. Mu Qiu, Guan Yu, and Li Yang breathlessly put down a pile of fresh vegetables into the program's prepared baskets on the roadside. Over where Shu Ran was, things were better with two guys, Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai, both carrying vegetables, while Shu Ran only carried two tomatoes, walking over with a smiling face, gracefully bending her knees to carefully place the tomatoes in the basket.
She seemed to be in a great mood, Mu Qiu thought.
"How many clues did you get?" Li Yang asked urgently after placing the vegetables.
Cheng Zhirang slowly placed the vegetables, politely taking the clues out of his pocket and handing them with a smile to Li Yang.
"We only got two clues."
Li Yang squatted down, laying out all the items they collected on the vegetable basket.
From Cheng Zhirang's end, there was a draft paper marked with golden ratio lines and numbers, and a keychain with two small crystal shoes. From Li Yang's side, there was a group photo, a bunch of the freshest and most vibrant green vegetables from the market, and a "forced gift" of a small ukulele.
Including the sketch from the beginning, they had six clues in total.
The six of them, some standing, some squatting, surrounded the six clues on the vegetable basket, thinking seriously.
Guan Yu was the first to raise her hand, "Could it possibly be a... singer with a golden proportion body? Someone who likes a keychain with crystal shoes, enjoys eating green vegetables, can play the ukulele, but is not great at drawing?"
Shi Yuhuai squatted, looked up, and seriously inquired, "Which male celebrity would like crystal shoes?"
It was genuine, a sincere inquiry, with a curious expression that left Guan Yu at a loss for words.
She gave Shi Yuhuai a look as if saying, "Silly child, you render me powerless," maintaining the last bit of comedic element, "Who knows, there are many people with their own little quirks."
Shu Ran made a curious sound, "Is there really someone like that? I don't even really like keychains, but crystal shoes do look quite nice."
After she spoke, there was suddenly a silence.
Awkwardness spread in the constant bustling of the road market.
Mu Qiu, eyeing Shi Yuhuai's innocent face, timely jumped in, "The director never said there was only one person. Maybe these clues are for two people, even three."
Cheng Zhirang, who hadn't spoken much earlier, nodded at this point, his clear, magnetic voice, unhurried, creating his own space in the lively market, making everyone look over and listen to him.
"It should be about two people, a male guest, the ukulele might be a clue about him. The crystal shoe keychain and vegetables could be for another female guest. As for the golden ratio, it could apply to either gender."
As the last sentence dropped, Mu Qiu instinctively looked at Cheng Zhirang's physique.
Indeed, isn't this a male with a golden ratio?
Not just her, but Guan Yu, Shu Ran, and Li Yang all simultaneously looked up at Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai.
One was a golden ratio verified by many fans, the other a famed model in the industry hailed as body enthusiasts' supreme.
Discussing this, the fans watching the live stream couldn't stay calm.
[If you keep this up, I won't go to sleep!]
[The way Mu Qiu looks at Brother Cheng, it's the same as the way she looked at meat slices yesterday]
[Can I say I also looked at the two of them first?]
[Brother Cheng's good body is officially stamped! That abs-revealing photo in "Reversal," I've been drooling over it for three years!!]
[I get why the female guests look at them, but why did Li Yang also look at Cheng Zhirang first?! Little bro! You're golden ratio in the fans' eyes too!]
